Statistics
Adult vs Newborn Size 2
Python

This is a follow up to [Adult vs Newborn Size 1]({{ site.baseurl }}/exercises/Graphing-adult-vs-newborn-size-1-Python).

We've graphed the relationship between adult size and new born size in mammals and now it's time to analyze the relationship statistically.

  1. Do a regression where x is log10(adult mass) and y is log10(newborn mass)
  2. Print the summary statistics for this regression
  3. Make a graph that shows both the data points and the regression line through those points. Label the axes

Optional: If you want, plot a histogram of the residuals of the regression to make sure that they are roughly normally distributed (you can do this with just a single line of code)
